Problem with Table-Maker under sgifaceserver-4.9p

[wheat at ceres.plbr.cornell.edu]

The table-maker feature under sgifaceserver-4.9p seems broken:

Given the following table definition file (lets call it: ref-txt.tab)

// graingenes
Sortcolumn 1

Colonne 1
Width 12
Mandatory
Visible
Class
Class Reference
>From 0

Colonne 2
Width 12
Mandatory
Visible
Class
Class Text
>From 1
Tag Series

and, using an saceclient-4.9p (with sgifaceserver-4.9p) :

% ./saceclient-4.9p nightshade -port 2000
acedb> table ref-txt.tab
// Response: 66 bytes.
"ACM-1" "Advances in Cellular and Molecular Biology of Plants."
"AGO-13"        "Agronomy"

"AGO-33"        "Agronomy"
"ARS-85"        "Crops Research, Agricultural Research Service"
"ATB-66"        "Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station, Technical
Bulletin"
FATAL ERROR (ruid: edwards, euid: edwards, nodeid: nightshade,
program: saceclient, version: ACEDB 4_9p, file: acesocketlib.c, line:
504) -
Memory allocation failure caused by serious internal error, acedb
requested zero or fewer bytes: 0.

...

note that there is no problem when tace-4.9p is used:
% ./tace .
acedb> table ref-txt.tab
       .. all results appear correctly here....
//# 49 lines in this table

Thanks!
